Can I use seawater that has been drawn up from 35 feet below the surface for use in the “Wet Process?”
Don: Yesthough it is best to stay far away from shipping lanes -perhaps as much as 2 miles. The areas around marinas are also avoided. . The focus is to have clean seawater taken at mid-depth (between the surface and the sea floor) and the deeper the better. Chris: “Depending on the geographical area, a good depth to collect ocean water is between 50 to 100 feet. Seawater is not drawn from the top waters because pollution generally stays in the top 25 feet of the water and sunlight filtering through the top waters is thought to drive Ormus away.
